"Cold Wind, you're back."
Cold Wind had just changed his shoes at the entrance when he heard his cheapskate father Moonlight Hoshino's voice from the living room.
Cold Wind shuddered and hurried to the living room. He saw Moonlight Hoshino sitting on the sofa in the living room. The right side of his face, right hand, and most of his body were wrapped in bandages. At the edge of the bandages, ugly red scars could be seen.
Those were the scars caused by the fire.
"Dad …"
Han Feng felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Haha, what's with that expression?"
Moonlight Hoshino stood up from the sofa and patted Cold Wind's shoulder with his left hand. He smiled and said, "I came back alive as promised!"
The corner of Han Feng's mouth twitched slightly: Who made this promise with you?
But he could not bring himself to complain.
"It's just a little regrettable …"
Moonlight Hoshino sighed. "I didn't avenge your uncle …"
Hearing this, Cold Wind felt an inexplicable anger burning in his chest. "Dad, I …"
"Hmm?" Moonlight Hoshino looked at him strangely.
"No, nothing."
Han Feng swallowed his words halfway. If he talked about revenge now, it would only make his father worry!
He might as well wait until he became stronger and speak with his actions!
The father and son sat on the sofa and talked about their feelings. Cold Wind talked about his mission while Moonlight Hoshino talked about the battlefield. Both of them tacitly skipped over all the dangerous places and showed off their acting skills.
After showing off their acting skills, Cold Wind asked, "Dad, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Moonlight Hoshino smiled and said, "I can't hold a sword anymore. I can only retire. From now on, I'll walk and play chess with your Grandpa Inoue and Grandpa Matsushita."
Moonlight Clan had opened more than ten izakuas in Wood Leaf due to the hot sales of crayfish. They made a lot of money every day, so Moonlight Hoshino had no pressure to retire. And all of this was because of his … son!
Cold Wind was silent. Although Moonlight and Hoshino seemed to be in a good mood, all of this was just to hide the hatred in his heart!
The reason why he did not show it was because he did not want to affect Cold Wind. No, it should be because he did not want to affect Gale. He did not want Gale to be trapped in the hatred of The Abyss. He did not want Gale's future to be covered by hatred!
Cold Wind did not comment on whether this was the right thing to do. After all, it was his father's kind intentions.
In the evening, Gale came back with his backpack.
"Brother!"
Seeing Cold Wind in the living room, Gale pounced on him like a mad dog.
Cold Wind reached out and pressed down on his little brother's head. This little brat's two hands were still swimming, but unfortunately, they were too short and could not touch Cold Wind.
"Brother …" Gale felt wronged.
"Stand up straight and speak properly." Cold Wind showed his authority as an elder brother, his expression sacred and inviolable.
"Got it." Gale lowered his head and stood up straight. When Cold Wind retracted his hand, he immediately rushed up and hugged him. "Brother, I missed you so much!"
Moonlight and Hoshino looked at them from the side, their eyes filled with gratification.
However, Cold Wind's expression was a little … spoilsport.
He had never seen his little brother so excited when he came back from a mission in the past.
What was he trying to do now?
Was he being dumped Early In The Morning and asking for consolation?
Did he not have enough pocket money?
Just as Cold Wind was puzzled, his little brother suddenly pulled him to the backyard.
Cold Wind was stunned, then a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When they reached the backyard, Gale pulled him to a corner sneakily and said with a bitter face, "Brother, what should we do?"
"What should we do?" Cold Wind crossed his arms in front of his chest, calmly watching his little brother's performance.
"After Uncle Hoshino came back, he made me practice my swordsmanship every day."
Gale lowered his head and said pitifully, "I don't even have time to read now."
Reading books was naturally to practice the Body Activation Forbidden Technique!
It wasn't that Gale didn't want to practice swordsmanship, but he had learned from his brother that practicing swordsmanship was a long-term process. It may take five, ten, or twenty years, and it couldn't make him stronger in a short time.
But the Body Activation Forbidden Technique was different. His brother only took half a year to practice this forbidden technique and successfully graduated from the Ninja Academy. With such a gem in front of him, Gale naturally wanted to practice the Body Activation Forbidden Technique first. As for swordsmanship, he would also practice it, but the focus was still on the Body Activation Forbidden Technique!
His plan was very good, but he didn't expect that after Moonlight and Hoshino came back, they would urge him to practice swordsmanship every day, not to mention reading books, he almost couldn't find time to play with Sister Yugao.
"It can't be, right?"
Cold Wind didn't know what Gale was thinking, but his cheap dad just told him that he was going to retire and play chess with Inoue and Matsushita. Was he fooling him?
Cold Wind's expression was strange.
"Brother, what should I do?" Gale shook Cold Wind's hand and looked at him pitifully.
"Even if you ask me, I can't do anything."
Cold Wind scratched his head. There was no solution. Who asked Moonlight and Hoshino to be his cheap dad?
However, there was at least one thing that Cold Wind could do well. He coughed and said loudly, "Gale, don't be disappointed, don't despair, life is more than what's in front of you!"
"Ah?" Gale was stunned.
"Be a warm boy like a sunflower!" Cold Wind said.
Gale was confused. He still didn't understand.
"The rainbow always comes after the storm!" Cold Wind said again.
Gale looked up at the sky. "Brother, it's not raining."
Didn't understand?
Cold Wind racked his brain and said, "Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, honesty, friendliness!"
Gale was completely confused. "Brother …"
The two brothers talked in the backyard for a long time, and finally … it was time for dinner.
Keiko walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, smiling. Sure enough, the family was going to eat together.
Cold Wind had a good appetite. Although his cheap dad was crippled, he wasn't dead. As for his little brother, Cold Wind could only give him a little more pocket money to nourish his body.
At this time, a few black parasites flew in from outside the living room. Cold Wind knew that his delivery had arrived.
He ran to the backyard and saw Aburame Shiguro's parasites scatter and drop a dark green scroll.
Cold Wind picked it up and looked. It was Lightning Release Ninjutsu — Ground Walk. It was a ninjutsu that released lightning through the hands and spread it on the ground or in the water. The power was not bad. Cold Wind silently threw a Harvest Technique. Unsurprisingly, it failed. He then put the scroll in his arms and went back to eat.
After dinner, Moonlight and Hoshino began to urge their little brother to practice swordsmanship.
Cold Wind sent two Shadow Clones back to the house. One looked at the Lightning Release — Ground Walk scroll, and the other looked at Long Yueye's scroll.
Old Man Inoue and Old Man Matsushita had asked Cold Wind not to bring the scrolls for the Dance of the Three Suns and Moons and Long Moon Night out of the village, so as to prevent the cultivation method from being leaked. Therefore, he did not bring the scrolls for the Grass Country mission, and naturally, he had not succeeded in collecting them.
The two Shadow Clones were reading hard in the bedroom. Cold Wind stood on the wooden corridor in the backyard and watched with interest.
The younger brother held a short sword with no edge in his hand and rubbed it against a newly buried wooden stake. Moonlight and Hoshino stood at the side and gave advice from time to time, imparting their experiences and tips. It was as if Gale was the hope of the entire village.
Cold Wind watched from 5: 30 until 10: 00 at night. During this time, he only saw Gale rest for less than half an hour.
At 10: 30, Moonlight and Hoshino announced with satisfaction, "That's it for today. Gale, continue to work hard tomorrow!"
The little brother was sweating profusely. He was so tired that he couldn't even lift his sword!
Cold Wind frowned. At this rate, the little brother would be crippled sooner or later!
Thinking of the coughing Gale in the original work, Cold Wind thought that the culprit was Inoue and Matsushita. He never thought that it would be you …
You hid it too well!
Cold Wind narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had to have an in-depth discussion with his cheap dad!
